Antibiotics are one of the most important medical breakthroughs of the 20th century.1They have revolutionized healthcare by making it possible to effectively treat bacterial infections. Before antibiotics, even minor infections could be life-threatening, and medical procedures and surgeries were much riskier due to the high chance of infection. As a consequence, antibiotics have saved countless lives.But antibiotic resistance challenges their effectiveness. The overuse and misuse of antibiotics have hastened this growing global threat that makes it harder and more costly to treat infections.The use of antibiotics isn't limited to human medicine: antibiotics are widely used in livestock farming, often as a cheap substitute for better hygiene standards.The world can combat resistance by using antibiotics more carefully, developing new drugs, regulating antibiotic usage in livestock, and ensuring better access to diagnostics and treatments.On this page, we explore the history, impact, and future of antibiotics, and present global data and research on antibiotics and antibiotic resistance....

I consider that antibiotics are a very effective product to treat different pathologies associated with bacteria in the organism, such as staphylococcus and all its family, however when applied in oral doses, it must be taken into account that the organism is damaged by the active ingredients that they contain, when a cycle of any antibiotic is made, if it is administered orally, nutrition and hydration must be considered, not all doctors talk about it. I recommend antibiotics but helping the body with food and necessary hydration. thank you, excellent post.

I think antibiotics are a good thing, but they also damage other parts of the body or organs.
For example, my father takes so many antibiotics to avoid urinary infections that he has a catheter in his prostate.
He has recently been diagnosed with gastritis, and I personally believe that this is due to taking pills every day.

Yeah like every meds. One has to weigh the advantages against the disadvantages. In some cases, one cannot avoid them.
Some doctors in Korea tend to automatically prescribe antibiotics, even if odds are it's of viral origin. Hence contributing to the problem raised in OP's article.
I'm confident though we'll find new strategies to replace current failing ones. It used to worry me more than it does now.
